INGREDIENTS:

One Cake Mix of your choice

Two Containers Prepared Chocolate Frosting

Black McCormick® Assorted Fall Food Colors

Candy Corn & Black Licorice Strings

METHOD:

1. Bake two 8 or 9 inch cake layers as directed. Remove from pans and let cool completely. While you’re waiting, make a cake board to display your beautiful cake creation.

2. Freeze the layers for about ½ hr. prior to frosting. This will make them less crumbly and easier to frost. Just place them in large resealable bags and place on a cookie sheet in the freezer.

3. Mark a circle around one of the cake layers about 1 inch in from cake edge and cut at marking. Remove the inner circle and set aside. This will be the cat’s head. Save the outer cake remnant to form the tail, ears and feet.

4. Prepare black frosting by adding food coloring from the McCormick® Assorted Fall Food Colors to the chocolate frosting until the desired color is achieved. (Use about 3-4 drops food coloring for each 1/2 cup of frosting.)

5. Position the large and small layers on your cake board to resemble kitty’s head and body. Frost both layers, swirling to give a furry effect. The cut layer (head) will require more frosting to cover the open sides.

6. Cut pointy ears and feet from the cake remnants and place on top and bottom of cake. Next, cut and position the tail, making a bend in the middle .

Frost tail, ears and feet and attach to head and body with frosting.

7. Add black cat’s eyes and nose made of candy corn. Cut the pointy ends from 6-8 candy corns to make the cat’s toenails. Use the bottom rounded portion of the pretzel to make black cat’s mouth. Add a few black licorice strings to each side for whiskers.

Why It's OK to Serve Kitty Litter at the Dinner Table

Would you ever think of serving a nice big box of used kitty litter at your dinner table? Most people’s first reaction would be no, but after reading this article I think you will change your mind. You are about to learn how it can be OK to serve kitty litter to your family.

A Unique Halloween Recipe Idea

If you are ever looking for a great way to shock and maybe disgust your family, especially around Halloween Time, then consider making a kitty litter dessert. This dessert is made in an actual litter pan (new and clean, of course) and served with a kitty litter scoop (again, new and clean). When you are done making the dessert and have it assembled it really looks like a kitty litter box, complete with poo to make it even more realistic.

To make the dessert you use a German chocolate cake mix, white cake mix, instant vanilla pudding, vanilla sandwich cookies, green food coloring and tootsie rolls. Plus you will need a brand new, never used kitty litter box and kitty litter scoop.

Make the cake mix according to package directions and prepare pudding according to package directions. Crumble the sandwich cookies and add in a few drops of green food coloring until you get a grayish color.

To assemble the dessert you will crumble the baked cakes and mix it with 1/2 of the crushed cookies and the pudding. Put this into the litter box. Now soften the tootsie rolls in the microwave so you can shape them to look like kitty poo. Place them about the cake in the litter box. Now sprinkle on the remainder of the crumbled cookies. Serve with the kitty litter scoop.

Why Make A Gross Halloween Recipe?

Most people will immediately ask why would anyone want to eat this? The truth is that it actually tastes great. The look of the dessert is deceiving, but it is very yummy and kids will eat it up, plus its the very best and funnest super gross Halloween Recipe
